Developing for Android on OS X
Install Oracle JDK 7+, the Android SDK, and Android Studio:
brew cask install java
brew install android-sdk
brew cask install android-studio
android
In the Android SDK Manager also select and install "Android Support Repository" and "Android Support Library" from "Extras":
By default, the SDK will be installed to /usr/local/opt/android-sdk. If you open Android Studio at this point, you may get an error message telling you that it can't find a JVM, it's because you installed a custom Java VM from Oracle. Follow these instructions to start Android Studio. You'll wind up setting these environment variables in your .bash_profile or similar:
echo "export ANDROID_HOME=`brew --prefix android-sdk`" >> .bash_profile
echo "export ANDROID_NDK_PATH=`brew --cellar android-ndk`/r10e" >> .bash_profile
# Replace <path> with something like /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_31.jdk/Contents/Home
echo "export JAVA_HOME=<path>" >> .bash_profile
echo "export STUDIO_JDK=$JAVA_HOME" >> .bash_profile
Setting Mapbox Access Token
The demo applications use Mapbox vector tiles, which require a Mapbox account and API access token. Obtain an access token on the Mapbox account page.
gradle will take the value of the MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN environ variable and save it to android/java/MapboxGLAndroidSDKTestApp/src/main/res/raw/token.txt where the app will read it from.
Run:
make android
open -a Android\ Studio
You can then open android/java in Android Studio via "Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.)".
Next: get your app running on a hardware Android Device or simulator
